US Reels - SX Supercaster Series

[MNGeorge]

Been looking at the SX Supercaster Series spinning reels from US Reels, particularly the SX 230 and SX 240 Supercasters.  If you have either of these reels and don't mind sharing your thoughts on it, I'd appreciate reading them.  Thanks.

I personally have not used them,  but I looked into them at one time and read on another forum that there was some durability issues.

take a look at the Pflueger Arbors 7430 or at the Lew's TSS-1000 .I have 2 of the Arbor's and they are just plane out solid work horse reels,smooth,supreme drag system,lite and cast awesome and the line management is fantastic. The Lew's large arbor reels are a close second. The U.S reels have gearing  and bearing issues.That's why I own 2 Arbors.

I bought one last summer new for 39.00 at the urging of my buddy who owns three.  He is soon to own four.  It's just okay.  I much prefer the more standard diameter spool reels. I would use it for crappie fishing if I keep it.

One of my beach mates, Poonman, uses a US reel, I forget which model, have seen the reel in action scores of times.  No issues at all and his reel is strictly used for snook, tarpon and jacks, reel is not used in freshwater.

I've got a few of them and I like them.  I like how the wide spool handles braid real well.  Mine are only a couple of years old, so I haven't experienced any drag or bearing issues.

I own three of the supercaster spinning reels and they are my go to reels.I have never had a problem with any of them and have had them for years.
